These timings are in Firefox; Chromium is almost 2x faster. Also, it doesn't completely freeze the browser in the mean time (we have green threads).
I used to think it's quite slow, but somehow it's much faster than any other posted here. The only Lisp in browser I know to beat SLip (by a large margin) is JSCL, which compiles to JS.
